Staring at the phone that has been disconnected, Ding is stunned. But thinking that she finally knows where Fang Hao is, she is very excited. Fortunately, she successfully hails a taxi by waving her hand only for a few times.
After getting into the taxi, Ding blurts out the address she wants to go without casting a glance at the driver. Then she keeps her head down, concentrating on her mobile phone for fear of missing important messages.
Certainly, Ding doesn’t notice that the driver has changed the way of looking at her. He looks amazed first, then lustful. But the driver is too timid to molest Ding. Because he is afraid to get revenge from Ding’s family. Judging from Ding’s clothing, he infers that she is not from an ordinary family and it’s better to rob some money to support his poor life.
On the other side…
An Ya thinks about it carefully, and believes she’s wrong. Fang Hao’s mother has blocked Ding by doing something with Fang’s mobile phone, so he can’t get calls from Ding at all. That is to say, Fang Hao can only be contacted by Ding through An Ya. Well, she didn’t take these into account just now, instead she showed off to Ding that Fang Hao was accompanying her. It is the last thing that An Ya wants to make opportunity for Ding to meet Fang Hao and stay alone with him. She must make it impossible!
So she urges: “Fang Hao, let’s finish it quickly! I want to go home and have a rest. I have a long day. I’m really tired. ”
Fang Hao doesn’t believe her at all for he just heard that her friend was coming. He has no idea of what she is thinking about, but he wants to figure it out.
Fang Hao looks up at An Ya, who gets nervous suddenly, and says, “Take it easy. Take your time at eating, or it is bad for your health. I don’t believe you want to send me to the hospital again.”
An Ya shakes her hand in panic and says, “No, I don’t mean that. Let’s take our time, take our time…”
She decides to leave Ding Manman to fate. If God make them meet, they will meet regardless of her hindrance. Moreover, Fang Hao’s words truly make sense that eating too fast is bad for health.
After arriving at the destination, the driver finds it’s a bustling restaurant and he is firmer in his opinion that Ding is rich. When Ding asks the driver how much she should pay, he quickly presses the lock button to keep Ding inside.
Ding realizes something is wrong at this time, and stammers, “What do you want? It’s hustle and bustle here. People will find you. You’d better let me go! ”
The driver smiles indecently and says, “Little sister, I don’t have any other meaning, but I’m a little short of money recently. I wonder if you can help me?”
“Ok, Ok, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will give you all the money and valuable things!” Ding says as she pushes all the money to the driver.
“That’s all? You seem like a rich lady. That’s all you have? Don’t lie to me, or I’m not sure what I will do! ” Says the driver viciously.
Ding Manman huddles at the corner of the car with fear and says, “I’m not favored at home. My parents seldom give me money. That’s all the money I have. I beg you, please let me go, oooh… ”
Just as the driver is about to unlock the door and let her go, he glances at the necklace around her neck. “You, give me the necklace, and I will let you go.”
“Driver, don’t do that. This is the last thing from my fiancé. No, he is not my fiancé anymore. Please let me save it as a souvenir.” Ding begs.
“No, just give it to me. Then I’ll let you go. Otherwise, heh-heh….”
Ding has no choice but to give the necklace to the driver. The driver is also a man of his word. He immediately unlocks his car and lets Ding go.
After getting off the car, Ding cries sadly in the dark. But there is no passer-by to comfort her.
The driver drives as fast as he can and disappears in a flash.
Thinking that she will see Fang Hao soon, Ding wipes her tears and recovers her mood. When she comes to the gate of the restaurant, she is stopped by the waiter.
“Lady, I’m sorry. You can only get in here after paying the minimum expense. Please pay for it.” Says the waiter.
“I’m sorry. I don’t have any money. My friend is inside. Well, can I give it to you when I find him?”
The waiter doesn’t reply. Then Ding hurriedly says, “Really, it’s true. I’m not cheating you. I’ll give you money when I get in. I won’t owe you.”
The waiter thinks for a moment and says, “No, ma’am. We have rules here. If I let you in, I’ll be fired. Don’t embarrass me. After all, I’m just a part-time worker. I need this job very much. What about calling your friend to come out and pick you up? ”
Hearing of this, Ding also feels embarrassed to keep the waiter in a dilemma and says, “OK, I’m sorry to embarrass you. I’ll call my friends and let them come out to pick me up. Thank you.”
“You are welcome, madam.” The waiter replies politely.
Ding walks aside to dial An Ya’s cell phone number, hoping that An Ya can come out and pick up her. But she doesn’t get through with An Ya for a long while.
An Ya, who is dining with Fang Hao, immediately mutes her phone when she sees the call from Ding Manman.
Sitting opposite her, Fang Hao notices what An Ya does and says: “What? A call from your friend? Why don’t you pick up it? ”
An Ya shakes her head, saying: “No, it’s not her. It’s just a harassment number. It doesn’t matter. ”
Fang Hao doesn’t answer. After all, he doesn’t care about her business very much.
When her mobile phone rings again, An Ya smiles with embarrassment and says, “You see, these people who harass others have a persistent spirit. Keep calling me even though I don’t pick up it.”
As soon as she finishes her words, she turns on the silent mode.
Ding becomes impatient after being kept on hold for a long while. After thinking it twice, she dials her mother’s phone, saying:” Mom, I find Fang Hao. But I should pay the restaurant before getting in. I have no money. Could you give me some money?”
“Money? I gave it to you when you went out today, didn’t I? No more money from me. And who knows whether you’re lying to me? Solve it by yourself. That’s all.” Ding’s mother hangs up immediately without giving her a chance to explain.
Ding has no choice but to sit down in a place where she can have a clear view of the restaurant’s gate in order to wait for Fang Hao.
